Assignment #1
Explain 2 other types of recreation (page 146) and 2 Public Events (page 149), what is it, places were it exists, and why would tourists visit that location. (open response rubric)
Types of Recreation:
Military Recreation: The purpose of military recreation is to improve moral and increase the overall physical and mental readiness. Some places that this type of recreation would exist would be service clubs, movies, crafts, hobbies, and youth and family activities because social programs help to develop the readiness needed. Tourists would visit this location because it allows them a chance to experience what it is like to be in the military, and what is to be expected of them if they were to enroll. Experience and fun would be gained from this type of recreation because it is a new world that people would be exploring that is outside of what they are used to.
Therapeutic Recreation: The purpose of therapeutic recreation is to help a person's emotional, mental, or physical health. Some places that this type of recreation would exist would be medical care centers and community social-service agencies because the activities provided are to help people find balance in their life. Some activities that are offered at this recreation site are outdoor camping, counseling, social work, and elderly adult services. Tourists would visit this location because it allows them to get help in a fun and creative way that will help to better themselves by whichever way helps them personally.
Public Events:
Cultural Events: The purpose of cultural events is to show what types of cultures and religions people believe in. Some of the fairs or festivals can be large or small and either have local or national appeal. Some types of cultural events are concerts, theater events, museum collections, and movie premieres, which can gain tons of appeals from people all over the world, or just the local people who live nearby. Tourists would visit this location because some people might want to see where others come from and what their backgrounds are like, as well as learning new things about different cultures.
Nonprofit Organizations: The purpose of nonprofit events are to help people who do not have as much as most people, and these events are charge free. Some activities that are held are civic and charitable events such as Big Sisters or Big Brother in order to help people in need by hosting golf tournaments, wine receptions, auctions, and pancake breakfasts. Tourists would visit this location because they would want to be involved in events that are dedicated to helping others in need, putting their needs first.
